If you've ever changed planes just to reach the Pacific Northwest, this one's for you. Alaska Airlines will fly daily, all year between Norfolk International and Seattle–Tacoma starting June 10. It's the first time the carrier has offered flights from Hampton Roads.
Alaska becomes the eighth airline at ORF, and Seattle was the airport's top unserved market, CEO Mark Perryman said.
“It has long been the busiest unserved market for ORF.”
